Description
### Version
main
### Are there any linked Issues or Pull Requests?
_No response_
### What happened?
At 3.1 + branch from PR383 (which fixes checkpointing for clim_gal9 when compiled with 64-bit precision), the NRUN/CRUN 64-bit test passes when checkpointing at timestep 4, but diverges when checkpointing at timestep 3.
(See #389 for issue with checkpointing when compiled with 32-bit `r_def` precision)
### Relevant log output

Research direction
Start by reading PR383 and issue #389 for the existing checkpointing context, then reproduce the clim_gal9 NRUN/CRUN 64-bit test with checkpoints at timesteps 3 and 4. Compare the divergent results and identify the checkpoint/restart behavior that prevents a bit comparison from passing at timestep 3.
